13.3.17 Miscellaneous Home Services

This section lists Home services that lack a better place.

Beets Service

The (gnu home services music) module provides the following service:

Variable :home-beets-service-type

Beets is a music file and metadata manager that can be used via its command-line interface, beet. Beets requires a YAML configuration file and this Guix Home service is to create such file.

The service can be used as follows:

(service home-beets-service-type
         (home-beets-configuration (directory "/home/alice/music")))

Additional options can be specified via the service wild-card field extra-options:

(service home-beets-service-type
         (home-beets-configuration
          (directory "/home/alice/music")
          (extra-options '("
import:
  move: yes"))))

Service de dictionnaire

The (gnu home services dict) module provides the following service:

Variable :home-dicod-service-type

C’est le type de service qui lance le démon dicod, une implémentation du serveur DICT (voir Dicod dans GNU Dico Manual).

Vous pouvez ajouter open localhost à votre fichier ~/.dico pour faire de localhost le serveur par défaut du client dico (voir Initialization File dans GNU Dico Manual).

This service is a direct mapping of the dicod-service-type system service (voir Dictionary Service). You can use it like this:

(service home-dicod-service-type)

You may specify a custom configuration by providing a dicod-configuration record, exactly like for dicod-service-type, but wrapping it in for-home:

(service home-dicod-service-type
         (for-home
          (dicod-configuration …)))
